“Portraits of a Pandemic” – a five 30-minute-episode doc series – began its editing time in April. The series looks back over the two-year period when covid was a real threat to all of us and goes deep reflecting on what lessons we could possibly learn going through those extreme difficult times.
The material was shot during the desease’s most dangerous period, from March 2020 through March 2022, and presents the daily routine inside Albert Einstein Hospital, one of the most important scientific research places in Brazil and the biggest Hospital in Latin America. Over 70 days of shooting took place, observing all the safety procedures to ensure that the film crew would be somehow safe, although the danger and fear of contamination was present at all times.
This is a precious document of a period of time that will go down in history as one of the most dramatic of the last century. The series, produced by Cinegroup, will be showcased on Globoplay (TV Globo Streaming service) on July 2022.
